Letter from Judge Trusock

Greetings,

The Kent County Office of the Community Corrections provides a

valuable service to this community. These services and programs are designed to

help individuals resolve various issues and problems that often lead to criminal

behavior.

These programs can be used as an alternative to or in conjunction

with incarceration. The hope is that the underlying problem can be addressed and

criminal recidivism can be reduced.

Problems that can be addressed are those involving alcohol and drug

addiction, sexual issues, mental health, theft, anger management and criminal

behavior. The Community Corrections program also offers resources that can

assist individuals with educational accomplishments.

This handbook is an outstanding reference for Judges and others in

contacting various programs and individuals available within the community.

Respectfully,

Mark A. Trusock

Chief Judge

OVERVIEW The Kent County Office of Community Corrections (OCC) seeks to reduce state prison commitments; prevent overcrowding at the Kent County Correctional Facility (KCCF); and protect public safety by diverting low risk, non-violent felony offenders into rehabilitative programming. Kent County OCC advocates the effective use of sentencing options that include combined jail and probation terms coupled with rehabilitative programming rather than prison or straight jail dispositions for eligible offenders. Funded by grant monies obtained from the Michigan Department of Corrections, Kent County OCC provides funding for rehabilitative programming that seeks to instill offenders with the cognitive thinking skills necessary to modify the behavior that has led to their continued involvement in the criminal justice system. A variety of programming options are funded through the Kent County OCC. These services include but are not limited to substance abuse treatment and assessment services, sex offender treatment, gender specific programming, pretrial supervision, retail fraud programming, and mental health counseling. This diversity of services addresses a number of offender needs that include the building of new cognitive thinking skills necessary to avoiding recidivistic behavior; learning needed skills to obtain and retain employment; and programming that enables offenders to overcome the barriers to a crime-free lifestyle that are constructed by continued and unchecked substance abuse. This handbook serves as a guide for judges, probation officers, attorneys and other court officials in selecting programs and services as alternatives to prison for felony offenders. In it you will find information on Office of Community Corrections (OCC) eligibility criteria, program descriptions, and contact information. A section on programs and services provided at the Kent County Correctional Facility (KCCF) is also included in this handbook. Although most of the programs at KCCF are not funded by the Kent County Office of Community Corrections (OCC), one goal of the Kent County OCC is to reduce prison and jail commitments, and this can be accomplished by enrolling eligible offenders in rehabilitative programming offered through KCCF.

P.A. 511 OVERVIEW Public Act 511 P.A. 511, also known as the Michigan Community Corrections Act, was established in 1988 to provide funds to local governments to develop community corrections programs. The purpose was to develop alternative sentencing options for non-violent felony offenders who would otherwise be incarcerated in state prisons or local county jails. How the Act works Funding for community corrections programming is provided through grants awarded by the State Community Corrections Advisory Board (MCCAB) to local county governments. In order to apply for funding, local Community Corrections Advisory Boards (CCAB) must complete an annual Comprehensive Corrections Plan and grant application which is the primary vehicle for funding requests. Programs seeking funding must meet the criteria established by the local boards to reduce commitments to state prisons and to increase the appropriate utilization of local jails. P.A. 511 Priorities Awarded funds for P.A. 511 programming seek to address a number of priorities. These priorities include:

• Reducing prison commitment rates in Kent County

• Reducing recidivism which is defined by the State Board as probation violations, either technical or new sentence, resulting in a prison disposition

• Effective utilization of available jail bed space in the Kent County Correctional Facility

• Building and encouraging stakeholder involvement in the development of the comprehensive community corrections plan

• Prioritizing offenders with higher levels of risk and need for programming that is grounded in evidence-based practices

• Monitoring and evaluating funded programming to ensure the quality and content of funded services

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ADVISORY BOARD Appointed by the Kent County Board of Commissioners, the Kent County Community Corrections Advisory Board (CCAB) is responsible for community corrections planning and policy-making with regards to the community corrections funding received from the Michigan Office of Community Corrections (MOCC). The Kent County CCAB has thirteen members representing a cross-section of criminal justice stakeholders in Kent County. Meeting periodically through the year, CCAB members review and discuss issues pertinent to the criminal justice system in Kent County and how community corrections programming can positively impact these issues. CCAB members also must approve the annual community corrections grant that funds the Kent County Office of Community Corrections. Current members of the Kent County CCAB:

Jail Diversion Mental Health Program The Jail Diversion Program seeks to divert mentally ill inmates, who have committed a misdemeanor or non-violent felony, from jail and provide them with treatment out in the community.
